Adele - Day 1!

Adele is one day old, and still doing great! Premature babies usually have some jaundice and need phototherapy, which just means lying under special lights until their bilirubin levels are normal. This means she gets to wear some really awesome accessories!

She gets "cares" every three hours where Ben and I can change her and check her temperature and stuff and we can also hold her around these times. When I visited her this afternoon she was crying and cranky, but when I got to hold her she settled down and went to sleep, so that was really nice! I took a couple of pictures with my other hand...

She's still doing really well. According to the nurses she is 'feisty' and is giving them more hassle than a baby her age normally would, and they seem very happy about this. She's going to be a fighter! :-)

And, like her sister when she was born, she prefers to be naked... she had a cute little outfit on earlier but apparently it was irritating her so they took it back off, so she already knows what she wants and how to get it... just like Fiona. Man, I'm going to have my hands full with these two!

About Me

I grew up in Scotland, and now live in Minnesota with Ben, our little Fiona, and Adele, the newest addition to our family. And also Brodie-dog and Monty-cat. Adele decided to show up a little early and was born at 30w4d, coming home at 6 weeks old. Here you will find the tales of what we get up to together, updates about how Adele is growing, and other random thoughts.
